tl;dr version: i suck, hard games are niche, being punished for dying makes me sad.

only a 6 though? I was expecting some 4s and 5s

It was to be expected that some reviewers will rate the game below 8 because of it's difficulty.

Demon's Souls is Awesome Gamervision is not.


there is my review.

LOL that is so true. That reminds me of the time when Eurogamer reviewed an MMO (forgot the name) and they got caught barely playing it. See, the devs gave Eurogamer an account where they could play for free and when the devs looked up the stats on the account, only a couple hours or so was logged. Also, to make matters (MUCH) worse, they didnt make it that much farther than the character customization part. In fact, most of there time with the game was spent recreating their character (they did it like 4-5 times).

On Topic: I wasn't really interested in this game because it looks very Oblivion like and I can't stand WRPGs, but IDK, its grown on me and I might just buy it. I love hard games and this guy complaining that is too hard is definitely a plus for me :).

Wow. This guys review made it straight to Metacritic.

Of course it did Ocnkng thus further proof that Metacritic is rigged and lame the majority of the time. They need to get some kind of set reviewers or something because this person makes a "blog like review", couldn't hack the difficulty of it, and only been a gamer for 2 years according to his info.

This means we should automatically throw his cruddy review into the mix to ensure the game's overall score is dragged down. Metacritic blows.

I never seen this site. 1st time seeing. I always go to gamespot for reviews. I don't buy games by reviews any way so 6/10 means nothing to me.

i've been saying this for quite awhile.

i personally know some douch's of reviewers (not going to name their site) that get their scores on metacritic, why they are douches? well , they are soo soo soo biased toward Call of Duty that all their reviews are kinda like " This vs Call Of Duty - Call of Duty wins  low score to this game! "  they even once compared the online of Socom to call of duty.

Cheatcc gave it a 4.7/5

"Between its active battle system and its online functionality, there is a whole lot that separates Demon's Souls from other games in the dungeon-crawling genre, bringing it into the current generation. Though this game is punishingly difficult, if you are a dungeon-crawling fan, you owe it to yourself to check out Demon's Souls. From Software is definitely ahead of the curve in regards to the future of this genre, and Demon's Souls proves that everything that is old can indeed be new again."

and a *gasp* girl reviewed it. Clearly Amanda Kondolojy is more hardcore then the chump from Gamervision.

Ya so this lame-ass review influences metacritic score, which influences our minds. I wonder why Edge's 9 hasn't made it to Metacritic yet.

Coz Kz2 and MGS4 Edge reviews sure did.

And you are right Metacritic blows.
